Abstract: In recent years, it has been reported that the incidence and prevalence of uveitis in psoriasis patients are higher than those in normal population, and the pathogenesis of the coexistence of the two is not clear. There is no standardized treatment for psoriasis complicated with uveitis. Glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants and biologics can be used. Herein, we report a case of plaque psoriasis with uveitis treated with secuchiumab. After 12 weeks of treatment, most of the lesions and ocular symptoms basically resolved.

Key words: psoriasis, uveitis, secukinumab, biological agent
